This is not about a slogan, and sages are not all failures. It isn't enough to say no. One has to draw a line in the sand and follow one's own predilections. Not opposing a known cheat is abject cowardice. Drinking alcohol or taking a "drug" are not forms of cheating except in the mind of the observer or the user. One can be at once an alcoholic and yet an advocate for victims of drunk-driving. So long as that person does not drink and drive, there is no conflict between the two activities. Besides, to say that everyone fails is not only untrue, it is defeatist and just another reason to give up trying.

Apes may cheat but they still feed their young so they aren't willing to cheat themselves out of existence.. You are enamored with the term great ape, which is your choice. However you fail to mention the concept of reason. Each individual "ape" has a mind of its own, so no one can say for sure that every "ape" will cheat. Finally, no "ape" is immortal, so given the choice of cheating one's way into extinction, or behaving otherwise in order to extend one's existence, each individual has freedom to choose one or the other. That anyone would choose extinction over longevity is regrettable, since that ends whatever argument that "great ape" might have for its way of life.

You obviously don't understand the difference between morality and natural selection. That said, good luck with the article.
